KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: know the anatomy, pathophysiology, and clinical aspects of the genitourinary system; know the main therapeutic options for uro-nephrological diseases; outline clinical treatment and the principles of clinical appropriateness. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: be able to apply acquired knowledge as a solid foundation for learning related disciplines; be able to propose a diagnostic-therapeutic pathway based on pathophysiological and clinical knowledge. INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT: acquire adequate critical thinking skills regarding the correlations between diseases and clinical signs and symptoms. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: acquiring appropriate biomedical terminology is essential for interacting within the biomedical scientific community. LEARNING SKILLS: studying Pathophysiology, Urological Pathology, and Urological Clinical Practice is essential in the training of a graduate in Medicine and Surgery. At the end of the course, the student must: be able to critically apply clinical and pathophysiological knowledge; propose the most suitable diagnostic-therapeutic plan for each patient, choosing among the available therapeutic options; be able to clearly explain and justify diagnostic and therapeutic decisions to colleagues and patients, using appropriate and context-sensitive language.

The urology exam can be taken if you have passed the following mandatory courses: Pathophysiology and Integrated Medical Pathology; Pathophysiology and Integrated Surgical Pathology; Pathological Anatomy; Pharmacology and Pharmacovigilance. It is recommended (but not mandatory) to have also passed: General Surgery, Internal Medicine.

Use the knowledge of Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, and other basic disciplines when dealing with organ and/or system diseases. Be able to critically evaluate the diagnostic methods commonly used in medical practice. Be able to recognize the signs and symptoms of the main diseases, interpret the results of laboratory and instrumental tests. Know the pathogenesis and prognosis of the diseases addressed.
